Don't be surprised if this simple equalizer is still one of your workhorse pieces years down the road.

Easy to use

The user interface on the 215s is simple but elegant. Each channel has 15 nonconductive sliders at 2/3 octave intervals.Time-tested Constant Q technology allows the unit's sliders to maintain stable frequency characteristics at all positions. You can also set each channel's gain boost or cut range at ±6 dB or ±12dB via a convenient front-panel control. LED lights let you monitor output gain, EQ bypass and signal clipping at a glance. Each channel has separate XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs for quick and easy connection to your gear.

Excellent sound and control at amazing price

Excellent equalizer at bargain of the century price. I've used this equalizer for a year now and it has great build quality, controls, sound, everything but a power switch. dbx products have been in my system since the late 70's and they make top notch equipment. You must use adapter cables to connect to RCA connections, available through Crutchfield. I will probably upgrade to the model 1231 for even more control. I cannot recommend this product enough.

Excellent Add On to my Monitors !!!

I'm looking for an upgrade to my Alexis PEQ 231, when I listen the DBX, it sound amazing, I'm surprised when hear every musical details from the Eris E8 monitors. This Eq sounds very accurate. This little Eq just not only iss very silent, it also reproduce every musical note, I'm highly recommend this EQ for a lot of setting you wants to do.

Pros:Very Musical, silent and sheap !!!

Cons:no have power switch

Great Equalizer

It took me a few times of using it to find out how great this equalizer is. It has a lot of control features that enable you to tailor the sound to your ears and your listening environment. At first I didn't think I was going to be able to listen to my TV or my computer through it because of a low hum through my 1800 watt power amp. I found that the input level is just to high on those outputs but you can adjust the input level down to solve that problem. You can also increase the input level for a low level input such as a turntable. The sound altering capabilities of this unit are excellent. I'm really happy I bought it!

Pros:Excellent sound altering capabilities

Cons:None that I've found so far.

Features

Overview: The dbx 215s single 15-band graphic equalizer is a versatile,
professional-quality EQ with simple, straight-forward controls. It features two
independent channels and 15 frequency bands, broken down in 2/3-octaves. Each
non-conductive slider has approximately 1" of movement with a detent at the 0
(flat) position. The 215s fits neatly into a standard equipment rack (1U space
required), and includes 4 rack mount screws and washers.

Input Gain: The 215s is equipped with a rotary input gain control to set the
signal level to the equalizer. The input gain control has a range of -12dB to
+12dB. You can monitor the input to the EQ through the 4-LED Output Level Bar
Graph, which has green (2), yellow (1), and red (1) indicators. There is also a
red LED to indicate if the input signal is clipping. The 215s has independent
input gain controls for each channel.

Switchable Boost/Cut Range: The dbx 215s has a maximum
boost/cut range of +/- 12dB. If desired, you can switch to a range of +/- 6dB.
This gives you finer control within the range. The boost/cut range switch is
located on the front panel. When the button is pressed in, the button lights up
to indicate the range is +/- 12dB. When the button is in the out position, the
range is +/- 6dB, and the button is unlit. There are Boost/Cut Range switches
for each channel.

Low Cut: To instantly cut out low frequencies, you can
engage the built-in 50Hz 12dB/octave high pass filter. The Low Cut switch is
located on the front panel, and remains lit when pressed in and activated. There
are Low Cut switches for each channel.

EQ Bypass: Each channel has an EQ Bypass switch, which
bypasses the graphic equalizer section in the signal path, when activated. An EQ Bypass switch
is provided for each channel, and remains lit when engaged.

Outputs: Each channel has a 1/4" TRS phone jack and a male XLR output
connector. The outputs can be used with either balanced or unbalanced loads. The
maximum output level is greater than +21 dBu balanced/unbalanced into 2 kΩ
or greater, >+18 dBm balanced/unbalanced (into 600Ω).

AC Power: The 215s has a 3-pin IEC power cord receptacle, and accepts 100-240
VAC.
